Comment (by aaugustin):
Searching for "django time_zone" takes you straight to
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#time-zone. The first
line here links to the
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones list of time
zones]. Reading the documentation usually works better than typing random
values and then complaining that they don't work :-)
Do you have a concrete proposal for accepting values not included in the
standard TZ database? We certainly don't want to maintain a custom TZ
database just for Django.
I'm strongly against copying the docs in the settings file generated by
the default project template because, if we start down this path, we'll
add stuff incrementally until we have a partial and out-of-sync version of
the settings reference.
